In a country where scores are settled by death squads, suicide bombers, and hired goons, the list of suspects is depressingly long, as the ghouls and ghosts with grudges who cluster round can attest. But even in the afterlife,...

"The Line of Beauty" is a sharp social critique of British high society set in the 80's during Margaret Thatcher's reign as prime minister. Alan Hollinghurst has a keen eye for the shallow frailties of human nature and how wealth -- particularly the pursuit of it -- can make a fool of someone.
